Sabonis with Turner off the floor is like instant offence (for the other team). I remember that game last year where we were dominating and then Sabonis got injured and we blew the lead. He’s the key to our half court offence.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

He has an outside shot at his first triple double.

8 points, 7 rebounds, 3 asssists.

It's like sometimes Scottie is just hanging around and then suddenly realizes, "oh wait, I can just overpower everyone". Now imagine he starts doing that whenever he's on the court. And then that'll open up his game for his passing and everything else.

Am I the only one excited to see what Siakam can do with this team? Less pressure, fast paced high energy.. and if OG can continue this with Scottie and Fvv doing their thing, we'll have a fun team and a trade or two away in a couple of years to be competing again.

Trent's not playing bad. He's definitely hustling. I just wanna see Banton get the chance.


banton needs that 3 - if he can get that down, he's a starter in this league.

i mean in some timeline, our starting 5 in a few years will be banton, og, scottie, pascal, achiuwa. that is MADNESS.

biggest problem Scottie has right now he is too indecisive and gives up the ball too much. Somebody needs to tell him here pretty soon you are a leader of this team so he plays with aggression all the time. Then he looks great.

What are people seeing different? Aside from a few offensive rebounds and a few extra off-ball possessions, FVV plays like this more often than not lol.

Trent works at the D, but his shot is all or nothing. If he was hitting open shots tonight we're up double digits.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

He's still learning how to play off call. But really I think he needs the ball in his hands more.

Scottie is the real deal, him and OG are the most exciting part about this team.
